Make sure that no dirt or contaminants can soil the bores again during the heating pro-
cess.
7. Mount the coupling parts 1 (1) and/or 2 (2) quickly on the shaft according to the instruc-
tions in the dimension drawing.
8. Secure the coupling parts 1 (1) and/or 2 (2) to stop them from moving until they have
cooled down.
9. Allow the coupling parts 1 (1) and/or 2 (2) to cool down to the ambient temperature.
10.Use an end plate to secure the coupling parts 1 (1) and/or 2 (2) that have a non-self-
locking, tapered pressurised oil interference fit.
11.In order to protect the oil channels of the coupling parts 1 (1) and/or 2 (2) against corro-
sion, fill them with a suitable pressurised oil and seal the oil channels with the screw
plugs (101) and/or (201).
12.Assemble the buffers (5). For further information, refer to section Replacing wearing

5.2 Assembling the coupling
Procedure
1. Clean the coupling part 20 (20).
2. Flange-mount the coupling part 20 (20) on the mating part.
3. Tighten the screws to the specified tightening torque T

Purpose of alignment
5.3 Aligning the coupling
The shafts that are joined by the coupling are never on an ideal precise axis but have a cer-
tain amount of misalignment.
Misalignment in the coupling leads to restoring forces that can stress adjacent machine parts
(e.g. the bearings) to an unacceptable extent.
The misalignment values in operation result from the following:
• Misalignment due to assembly
Incorrect position due to a lack of precision when aligning
• Misalignment due to operation
Example: Load-related deformation, thermal expansion
You can minimise misalignment by aligning after assembly. A lower misalignment in the
coupling has the following advantages:
• Reduced wear of the elastomer components
• Reduced restoring forces
• Misalignment reserves for operation of the coupling
